Bill Ritter’s been in the New York news business a long time. He joined WABC-TV Eyewitness News back in June 1998 and took over the 11 p.m. newscast in October 1999. He added the 6 p.m. show in February 2001. Before he made his way to New York, he was a writer at the Los… Read More »
I’ve been burned by GTA dates before, so I didn’t fully believe this one until Rockstar dropped the launch trailer this morning. Launch trailers are the point of no return.

Then a voice yells from the terrace, “Chaand nikal aaya!”… Read More »
Fleet Admiral Sakazuki does not lose fights the way most One Piece villains lose fights. He does not get out-muscled in a long exchange and then admit the other guy wanted it more. He ends people. One clean Magu Magu no Mi hit burned a hole through Portgas D. Ace and cooked the organs on… Read More »
Have you seen a huge Charizard expand to stadium size and take a blow that would kill an ordinary monster? That’s Dynamax. You met it first in Pokémon Sword and Shield back in 2019 — and then it disappeared from the main line — and appeared in Pokémon GO — and in 2026 it’s finally… Read More »
